I made a specialized cord with the two data leads shorted, and did get an older charger to work with my 650, but it was a little kludgey, and I didn't like having to deal with two USB cables, one for charging, and one for transferring files, so I finally just broke down and spent a couple bucks for a properly compatible charger on Amazon.
